If you like your music, have a Spotify account and use Linux then spotifyd
and spotify-tui might be nice alternative to using a heavier GUI client.
So far I have not spent an extended period working within dwm, I have however applied a whole bunch of patches to it and even partially customised it myself and I must say it wasn’t as painful as I thought it might be.
Contine reading...I dislike PowerPoint. There I said it. While it’s an okay tool for many I often
find it cumbersome. Not to mention that it is a Microsoft product. I’ve tried
various alternatives to it but they all seem to be trying to emulate the
experience: Google Slides is okay but it’s stuck in the web browser and is owned
by Google, another massive corporation with it’s own set of problems.
LibreOffice and OpenOffice both have their own along with Calligra but they’re
even more cumbersome than PowerPoint to use, MacOS has Keynote but that again
is a massive corporation run tool. What I have settled on using for a while now
is reveal.js.
After many years of happily using the i3 window manager
in my Linux environment I have decided to try to use the Suckless Dynamic
Window Manager, dwm, as a replacement.
I am not unhappy with i3 as such but do get mildly irritated from time to time
with having to manually manage my workspaces and the configuration file. I
would also like to get more practice in C programming and since dwm is in
written and configured in C it seems like a good way to do this.
This morning I updated my atom.xml to include a summary and a few more details that were missing from it.
